Description
Flares of known astronomical sources and new transient phenomena occur on different timescales, from sub-seconds to several days or weeks. The discovery potential of both serendipitous observations and multi-messenger and multi-wavelength follow-up observations could be maximized with a tool which allows for quickly acquiring an overview over both persistent sources as well as transient events in the relevant phase space. Astro-COLIBRI's architecture comprises a RESTful API, a real-time database, a cloud-based alert system and a website as well as an app as clients for users. The structure of Astro-COLIBRI is optimized for performance and reliability and exploits concepts such as multi-index database queries, a global content delivery network (CDN), and direct data streams from the database to the clients to allow for a seemless user experience. Astro-COLIBRI evaluates incoming VOEvent messages of astronomical observations in real time, filters them by user specified criteria and puts them into their MWL and MM context. The clients provide a graphical representation with an easy to grasp summary of the relevant data to allow for the fast identification of interesting phenomena and provides an assessement of observing conditions at a large selection of observatories around the world.
What’s New
Version v2.13.0
- Introducing rate limits on the most computing and IO intensive endpoints (latest_transients and cone_search)
- General filters: sources visible by the selected observatory, angular distance to the sun, retracted events, etc.
- Minor changes: use of GPT-4o for event descriptions, added Gemini North+South to observatories, user defined duration of an observation for the tilepy scheduling plan of GW follow-ups, added direct link to scientific publications for each source on ADS/SciX
- Bug fixes: Tilepy GW follow-up observation plans for radio observatories fixed + display of GW events in timebar
